GYPO Earth Science Week

Get your Park ON! Mosquito Madness occurs October 11-19, 2025, in celebrating the advent of Spring. The event is open to all WWFF Activators and Hunters and is sponsored by the U.S. (KFF) affiliate of World Wide Flora and Fauna (WWFF).   The GYPO Mosquito Madness is an international event inviting all Activators through the world to participate. Hunters everywhere are invited to search out and contact Activators everywhere, making this truly a worldwide, DX event.  Get Your Park ON! Mosquito Madness will start October 11 at 0000 UTC and run through October 19 at 2359 UTC.  

This event includes Special Event Stations (GYPO SES). These stations potentially will be active from Europe, Oceania, and North America parks throughout the week. KFF SESs will be operating with 1x1 callsigns, e.g., N5G. Hunters are encouraged to work as many of these Special Event Stations as possible, with special recognition given to those working five or more. For a Clean Sweep, activators can work all SESs within a continent. A bonus recognition will be offered for those working all SESs from all continents.  A complete list of the Special Event Stations will be provided at the start of GYPO Spring Fling. Their operating plans and schedules will be posted on their individual QRZ pages. 

Since October 1998, the American Geosciences Institute has organized Earth Science Week, a national and international event. They do this to help the public gain a better understanding and appreciation for the Earth sciences and to encourage stewardship of the Earth, a common goal shared by World Wide Flora and Fauna. Both programs encourage their participants to get outside and enjoy nature.
